Accountancy, the first school of the Faculty of Commerce, began operations in 1955. The first graduate of UNSW Business School in 1959 was Langer Avery. The Faculty of Commerce was then formed formally in 1957 — later renamed the Faculty of Commerce and Economics in 1988. In 1977, the Australian Graduate School of Management (AGSM) was established.
In 2006, the Faculty of Commerce and Economics and the AGSM merged to form what was initially known as the Faculty of Business, before being renamed the Australian School of Business (ASB) in 2007. In 2014, the ASB was renamed the UNSW Business School.
